Hayes Brown: Tennessee already has lax gun laws. Nashville Republicans are pushing to make them even weaker.
But there’s a wide and constantly growing disconnect between the high-minded rhetoric being thrown around and reality. It’s easy to say,, that gun laws that don’t match up with 19th-century understanding of firearms are a threat to freedom. It’s likewise easy to claim that any restrictions on gun ownership invite despotism. It’s not like there’s been much of a chance in the last 30 years for the U.S. to try out the sort of reforms thatin any other country and see just how much “tyranny” ensues.
, like Rep. Andy Ogles did last year. Ogles’ district includes Nashville — but I doubt he’ll think twice about putting guns in the hands of his kids for next year’s card as well. They think that their toys, their totems of masculinity, their props for playing the hero, are more important than the lives lost.
